The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the electric field in the region between the inner shell and the outer shell, specifically for the condition \( c < r < d \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charges**: - The inner shell has a charge of \( +2q \). - The outer shell has a charge of \( -4q \). 2. **Understand the Charge Distribution**: - The inner shell will induce a charge of \( -2q \) on the inner surface of the outer shell due to electrostatic induction. - Since the outer shell has a total charge of \( -4q \), the outer surface of the outer shell will have a charge of \( -4q + 2q = -2q \). 3. **Choose a Gaussian Surface**: - We will choose a spherical Gaussian surface of radius \( r \) such that \( c < r < d \). This surface is located between the inner and outer shells. 4. **Apply Gauss's Law**: - According to Gauss's Law, the electric flux through the Gaussian surface is given by: \[ \Phi_E = \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{S} = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} \] - Here, \( Q_{\text{enc}} \) is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface. 5. **Calculate the Enclosed Charge**: - In the region \( c < r < d \), the only charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface is the charge of the inner shell, which is \( +2q \). - The charge on the inner surface of the outer shell does not contribute to the enclosed charge since it is outside the Gaussian surface. 6. **Calculate the Electric Field**: - Substituting \( Q_{\text{enc}} = +2q \) into Gauss's Law: \[ \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{S} = E \cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{2q}{\epsilon_0} \] - Solving for \( E \): \[ E = \frac{2q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2} \] - Therefore, the electric field in the region \( c < r < d \) is: \[ E = \frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r^2} \] ### Final Answer: The electric field in the region \( c < r < d \) is: \[ E = \frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r^2} \]

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the electric field in the region between the inner shell and the outer shell, specifically for the condition \( c < r < d \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charges**: - The inner shell has a charge of \( +2q \). - The outer shell has a charge of \( -4q \). ...
